The Australian "lamb"? Who knows. It was nasty for years, decades.
It was labeled "lamb", as it still is. I put it down to feed, but it
could have been age. That would explain why the taste changed for the
better. My theory was they had feed lots for lamb where they finished
sheep destined for sale here with feed that's more palatable to
American tastes. No idea what the reality is and no one else here
knows either, including you.
